<h2>Recreational Sports Management System</h2>
The RSMS is a suite of software programs I am writing to help out the management of the Brussels Sports
Association (<a href="http://www.bsasports.org">http://www.bsasports.org</a>). The software is free for anyone who wants to use it although, if
you want to request customizations, I can be bought.<br><br>
The first module, the Team Builder, is available for download and use (see below). A second component,
to handle scheduling, is about 60% finished and should be ready for testing soon. <br><br>

      <h3>
         Team Builder: automatic generation of balanced sports teams
      </h3>
      <br>
      To download and use the RSMS Team Builder, follow these simple steps:
      <br>
      <ol>
         <li>Download the 
         <a href="rsms_tb-20031112.jar">Team Builder executable jar (called "the jar file" below)</a>.
         </li>
         <li>Get the Java 2, release 1.4 or better runtime engine
         <ul>
            <li> You can get it by clicking 
            <a href="http://java.com">this http://java.com link</a>
            and clicking on Free Download.
            </li>
            <li>Important Note for Windows users. While installing the JRE, unless you have 
            a compelling reason to do so, do not allow the Java JRE to become the 
            default Java engine for MSIE's handling of Internet applets. This choice frequently 
            results in a significant decrease in performance. The JRE installation program gives you 
            the opportunity to choose this option, and it is selected by default. Deselect this option 
            unless you really need to use JRE 1.4 for Internet applets.
            </li>
         </ul>
         </li>
         <li>Install the Team Builder software
         <ul>
            <li>Put the jar file anywhere on your system. A good idea is to put it in a new 
            directory since it will generate useful files that you need to be able to find.
            </li>
            <li>If you are running Windows, you may want to create a shortcut to start Team Builder. 
            <ol>
               <li>Right-click on an empty space on yor desktop and choose New-->Shortcut. 
               </li>
               <li>Click on "Browse" and find the Team Builder jar file (called "rsms_tb-20031112.jar"). 
               </li>
               <li>Double-clicking the short cut should start Team Builder. If not, you may have to perform one additional step:
               </li>
               <li>
               <i>
                  Only if the short-cut doesn't work: 
               </i>
               Right-click the short-cut and choose "Properties".
               In the "Target" entry box, 
               <u>
                  before
               </u>
               whatever is written, type "java -jar ".
               So if it initally reads "c:\rsms\rsms_tb-20031112.jar" you would type: java -jar "c:\rsms\rsms_tb-20031112.jar". 
               </li>
               <li>That's all - finish up. Make sure the shortcut has a useful name (and not something like  "java.exe").
               <\li>
               </ul>
               
               <li>You may want to look at the User Guide which you can access from the Help menu in Team Builder or by 
               clicking 
               <a href="rsms_tb_help.html">here</a>. A sample data-file can be downloaded by left clicking the link 
               <a href="sample.csv">here</a>
               and choosing "Save as ...".
               </li>
            </ol>
